It has been an incredible fall for girls’ sports programs at Greenbrier High School. As I prepare this column, the softball team at Greenbrier is gearing up for play in the Elite 8 in Columbus, Ga.

Deep playoff runs are nothing new for the Lady Wolfpack softball team, but they are sharing the spotlight this fall with the school’s volleyball program. Debbie Born’s team also is bound for the Elite 8 and has an astonishing 40-1 record this season. This comes on the heels of Greenbrier’s huge spring that saw the tennis and soccer teams each advance to the state semifinals.

Houston County likely has had its fill of backup quarterbacks from Columbia County.

Earlier this season, Grovetown replaced starting quarterback Hunter Peace with Juwan Biggers prior to its matchup with the Bears. It was Biggers’ first start of the season and he was sensational. He torched Houston County’s defense for 253 yards and three touchdowns on just 14 carries.He also added an 89-yard kickoff return for another touchdown as Grovetown won a tight game 27-23.

The Greenbrier High School Lady Wolfpack made quick work of Richmond Hill in the opening round of the AAAAA softball playoffs with a two-game sweep Wednesday. The ’Pack won game one 12-5 and took game two 11-2, improving its record to 27-6.
